Mass Text Messaging System

If you want to keep your customers or employees informed or notify them of important events, mass text messaging over an IVR system provides a simple, convenient, cost-effective method of reaching people on their mobile phones. With mobile phone and smartphone adoption continuing to grow, text broadcasts provides a reliable way of communicating quickly with the highest proportion of your target audience. Research indicates SMS messages have a very high opening rate. With one simple instruction, you can broadcast the same message to hundreds or thousands of people.

Improve access and convenience for customers

Group text messaging gives your call center an additional channel of communication and ensures that customers can receive information in the way that is most convenient for them. Text messaging is unobtrusive and gives customers the opportunity to store the information for future reference. When the information is urgent, such as notification of an upcoming appointment, cancellation, overdue payment or special offer, customers will appreciate the level of customer care.

Tailored text messaging

While mass SMS notifications clearly offer the greatest cost advantages, you can use text broadcast facilities to target small or large groups from a few dozen people to an audience of thousands with content customized to each group. IVR’s bulk messaging software gives you the flexibility to automate and schedule text notifications that are easy to integrate with calendars or other scheduling software.

Powerful mobile marketing

Text messaging for business provides a flexible communication platform, as well as a powerful mobile marketing and customer loyalty tool. You can use mass text notifications to send customers details of special promotional offers or new product announcements. Retailers can use location-based marketing techniques to target groups of customers and prospects close to their outlets with text marketing messages. Regular communication via SMS marketing is a cost-effective method of raising brand awareness and strengthening customer relationships.

Employee communications

Mass SMS notifications are an important employee communication channel. In an emergency situation, text broadcasts provide a fast, reliable method of maintaining contact when other methods of communication are impractical. That makes text broadcasts an essential component of a disaster recovery strategy. Bulk messaging is also useful for routine employee communications, such as notifying staff of special events, company achievements, policy changes, safety announcements or new appointments.

Effective monitoring and control

To give you greater control over your communications, IVR-based text broadcast systems incorporate facilities for managing and monitoring bulk messaging programs. You can use the web-based dashboard to view outgoing messages, monitor delivery and track responses and results.
